You will not be prompted to other screens for different options where your original screen is lost. The thing that makes Notepad++ the real competitor of Adobe and Atom is that it offers as much functionality as possible in a single screen.

You will find the long line of action buttons at the top of the Notepad++ screen where lots of standard options like creating a new document, copy/paste, zoom in / out, close all windows and more, are tucked. Once you get into its UI, you will easily find your way around.

The Notepad ++ is really a functional software that, although doesn’t come with that slick interface, however, is really efficient and easy to use. As the name implies, the software provides the users with the convenient way to run the compiler, debugger, interpreter and other relevant programs, in addition, to simplify and speed up the input of the source code. I am disappointed to see John Haller, who otherwise has a reputation for high-quality reliable software, promoting this fundamentally flawed program.The Notepad++ can be downloaded from its official website in both 32-bit and 64-bit version. Goodbye to Notepad++ I never want to touch it again.īy the way, Notepad++ Portable has the the same major bug. Well, it's too much user effort for me to tolerate this horribly defective program. And what reason does he give for not fixing it? He says it's too much "coding effort". Scroll to the "Followups" section at the bottom of that formal bug-report page, and you will witness Don Ho blatantly refusing to fix this major bug. Here is a link to a bug report about it (on an official Notepad++ web site):

There is a work-around for this bug, but the work-around is a time-consuming hassle that you must remember to do (and probably won't remember to do) every time you save a new document. So, for example, if you create a new plain-text document, it is saved without the ".txt" extension, and therefore it is saved by Windows as an unknown file type, which Windows will not know how to handle when you try to open it. The bug causes the following problem: when saving a new document, your new document is saved without any extension. I absolutely vote thumbs-down on Notepad++ because it has a major bug that the program's author, Don Ho, refuses to fix.
